In modern fine dining, presentation plays an important role. Chefs give same importance for the foodwares as important as finding good ingredients and creating recipes. On each and every dish the chefs try to make them more appetizing. In modern cookery a piece of wood, cast iron or even pebbles are used for serving food. I enjoy collecting rare charming food wares and knives.

With few of our fellow bloggers we have created a food group in Facebook where we met few amazing food bloggers and food photographers out side word press. We would get to learn more from them. If you are interested please join with us in Foodie art files

Chick peas are low in fat, high in protein and fibre. They are very cost effective and great to pair with spices. Chick pea masala is a very popular vegetarian dish in India.

The presentation looks amazing, I love to make chickpeas as i always crave it. I always stick with my own recipe which is very simple. The flavours in this one sounds delicious so I definitely will try it out 🙂 thanks for the recipe

I ADORE chickpeas in all kinds of recipes; and when I go to India or to an Indian restaurant here in Beijing I nearly always order Chana Masala. Now you have shown me how I can make it myself!!!! I am so delighted. The recipe seems simple enough for me, and I have all the ingredients – even the mango powder (bought in Bengalaru a month or two ago) can’t wait to try it. Off to Scotland for Christmas, I think this dish would go well with the Xmas turkey!! it will certainly be a talking point…you have such a wonderful website, very inspirational!

Thanks a lot for your feedback. This is easy to make. As if you use canned chic peas it’s more easy and will enjoy cooking with all those ingradients you have. Wishing you a spicy Xmas this year. Enjoy cooking!! And thanks for the compliment on wesite -:)

You inspire me! I don’t cook Indian food very often but I really should as chana masala is a household favorite! The presentation is beautiful, I love blue plates for presentation.
Have a great weekend 🙂

This Chana Masala is driving the foodie out of me once again!!👍 Have tasted much of this recipe but this one seems so unique, a major credit obviously goes to the presentation!!☺👍 Brother you are jUST amazing!! I would definitely like to taste your food some day, if technology permits that😂😂☺👍

Sumith I can cook, I have learnt it a bit.
Its an art you have nourished.
I would be more pleased to eat and can be your judge to give the ultimatum.
That cycle presentation is awesome.
Chicken and Channa great !

Thank you Cornelia. Changed into vegetarian for a few weeks😂😄. Me too love chana masala. And nice to know you have got all the spices from Jodhpur. I wish to visit there once. Seen all those beautiful photographs in your blog.

Thanks Sumith! Yes lighting is really a problem these days, I find that the best time is just about until 11 am for me. After that there is direct sunlight all over the place, and then before the sun starts setting, it is dark and the light is so dull. It becomes challenging to finish cooking and setting everything by 11 😦 I have to start early!

Chana Massala is one of my absolute favourite things … I will try your recipe for sure. My third daughter’s middle name is Channa (note different spelling) after a Princess in an Italian Fairy Story but of course her sisters tease here and call her the chickpea – even now that they are all grown up!

Thank you Vanessa. It’s so easy to cook as well. Hopefully you will enjoy it. Telling a secret in between us – all curry’s taste the best the next day😅😊😂 to get immersed with the spices all the gravy’s taste a lot better the next day.
